Aromatherapy and oils - Natural Botanical Beauty Blends! If you simply don't have time on your side, there are also excellent "food quality" pre-packaged products that nurture and heal your skin without polluting it and wearing it down. Throughout the sight I will recommend some superior skin care products. I do mention products rather than skin care lines because often there are a few products in one line I like but not the whole line.
There are also some awesome antiviral essential oils that can really rev up your immune system which may be of UPTMOST importance with the new SWINE FLU virus going around! True, undiluted oils really shine here against Allopathic medicine and can really attack virues but their true strength is working alongside your body, fortifying it to fight off disease naturally and safely. For prevention, you need 6-8 weeks to build the immune system up. Go here-->
Be careful! There are just so many "natural", "organic" and "doctor recommended" products out there that simply don't perform or measure up and I know because I have tried numerous products from professional lines used in my practice as an esthetician, drugstore brands in a pinch, high-end department store brands while working as a make-up artist and costmetic account manager during my school years and yes, even the natural/organic brands in a search for something I felt I could really get behind and endorse with honesty and integrity. This is how I circled back to Aromatherapy and oils. True gifts of nature in their purest forms that can truly penetrate the skin and perform remarkable. Get creative! Customize! Make gifts! Use Aromatherapy and oils to target skin issues, better health and more importantly if you battle stress - use them for fun and to restore balance!
Together, we can support companies and businesses that truly are trying to preserve and protect the people, plants, animals and mother earth through sustainable and organic farming practices, organic seed preservation, pure and whole plant essense applications,(not using those with synthetic fillers which undo good and create allergic reactions). The more we demand superior products and natural practices, the more we take charge of our own Health Freedoms and cripple the bigger corporations that lobby for harmful chemicals, drugs, pesticides, genetically modified crops, etc. By NOT BUYING their products, they simply won't be earning all those billions that give them such deep pockets to challenge and beat the smaller, more ethical companies. A small part each of us can play but a HUGE impact to YOUR health and the economy!!!
The smaller, environmentally conscious companies need our support. They care about remineralizing the soil for stronger harvests. They care about doing away with GMO seeds and crops with terminator cells (look at the disappearing bees-hmmm). They have not gotten so greedy or have lost sight of the health you and your family deserve. These companies care about the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we consume. We seriously need to take back our livelihood and health freedoms before our very God given gifts are destroyed and completely depleted by the greedy money mongers! Let's hit them where it hurts - in their pockets!!!
I hope while browsing through The Divine-Dove-Spa sight, you will get inspired and motivated with the idea of incorporating fresh herbs into your food, drinking more antioxidant rich teas, using more authentic oils for healing and restoring beauty and I also hope you enjoy the endless possibilities for recipes!
Make a small positive change today. Start incoporating true, certified organic aromatherapy and oils into your life. Enjoy them in a bath, an herbal tea, a homemade facial mask, a room diffuser to purify the air, use in an eye compress to relieve eye strain, meditate with calming, relaxing scents...the many uses are endless and can bring about a positive impact on your individual wellness. The more I learn, the more I am inspired by the amazing healing properties of herbs and true essential oils.
As an esthetican, I have used many professional products, many drugstore products and many essential oils in the treatment of skin. Much of what I am seeing today is OVER SENSITIZED SKIN or TIRED, DEPLETED SKIN. It used to be we would lump skin into basic categories like Normal, Oily, Dry and Sensitive but with so many chemicals in beauty products, food, water, household cleaners, bug pesticides, etc., I see skin that is simply worn out from fighting off all the elements internally and externally. It's no wonder Cosmetics and Pharmaceauticals are a billion dollar industry. We WANT and NEED help!!! Hopefully this sight and my "trial-and-error" experience will lead you back to Nature for answers. Nature is full of many amazing gifts that can heal and beautify and restore balance.
Have fun, be creative, nurture your skin and your soul and be your DIVINE best while journeying into Aromatherapy and oils!
